Assuming the house is parallel to the ground, your triangle is made up by the house, the ground, and the ladder. Using sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse on the angle 70 degrees, you would have sin(70) = 20/x (because 20 is the side opposite of the angle connecting the ladder and the ground)
--> simplify sin(70) * x = 20 --> x = 20 / sin(70 
--> substitute (and make sure your calculator in in degrees) x= 21. 284

Two cars leave Denver at the same time and travel in opposite directions. One car travels 10 mi/h faster than the other car. The
mestny [16]
Recall your d = rt, distance =  rate * time

let's say we have two cars, A and B, B has a speed rate of "r", so A is the faster one and has a speed rate of " r + 10 "

they both are 300 miles apart after 3hrs, after 3hrs, car has been running for 3hrs, and car B has also been running for 3hrs, so their time is the same

we know their distances added up, is 300miles, so if car B covered say, "d" distance on those 3hrs, car A covered the slack, " 300 - d "

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&distance&rate&time\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
\textit{car A}&300-d&r+10&3\\
\textit{car B}&d&r&3
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
300-d=(r+10)3\\
\boxed{d}=3r\\
----------\\
300-\boxed{3r}=3(r+10)
\end{cases}

solve for "r"
